Thats a beautiful car, but its a Cabriolet.  My friend doesnt like convertibles.  So thats out of the question.

I've noticed there are a lot more cabriolets than coupes for sale here.  Additionally, the cab is a much less safe car, as it doesnt have reinforcing in the A pillar, so the whole front windscreen can easily get knocked down in a collision or such.

But thanks for the ad :rockon:

Man, 20 grand for that and the reserve hasn't been met?

It only has 13K or so miles.  Thats almost nothing, probably one of the least mileage 968s out there.  The car is in beautiful condition, in and out.  I would think this car would go for about 25K.  Owners dont like parting with their cars, especially low mileage 968s.  You can never go by book value on cars like the 968, they are never accurate.

Just seems like a bad value to me, even if it is a good price.

Porsches have never been good values ;)

Sure they have.  A 911 Turbo is a better value than a Ferrari 360, a Boxster S is a better value than a Maserati Spyder, a 944 Turbo is a better value than a 968.

:D

If you look at it that, youre right :lol:

I'm going to ask my friend to look into this (its a bit far from me though).  



944 Turbo, 350 hp, 93K miles, 10K dollars.

Awesome. :rockon:

I'm very worried about the reliability of modded 944s.  A 944 isnt a reliable car to begin with, and with mods and all, it can be really bad.

I've never heard bad things about 944 Turbo reliability, but with any turbo engine, modification and long life can often lead to disaster.

QuoteHow about this one?  I'd love to have this car, very nice with low mileage! :rockon: Some day. :(

Ebay
Thats a beautiful car, but its a Cabriolet.  My friend doesnt like convertibles.  So thats out of the question.

I've noticed there are a lot more cabriolets than coupes for sale here.  Additionally, the cab is a much less safe car, as it doesnt have reinforcing in the A pillar, so the whole front windscreen can easily get knocked down in a collision or such.

But thanks for the ad :rockon:
Wear a helmet, that's a nice car! :lol:
